I absolutely love this Han Solo concept art.
It’s like that time they combined chocolate with peanut butter.

Harrison Ford on the set of “Star Wars: A New Hope” (1977) having absolutely become Han Solo, trying to eat his mic after losing his words !

Wtf Harrison lol

No actor will never eat as many mics throughout their acting career like Ford did. Ford holds the current mic-eating record at 3,463 mics during his acting career. His Star Wars costar, Mark Hamill, is currently only at 1,072. Here we see a video of Ford in action during one of his mic feedings. This is speculated to be approximately his 560th mic consumed.

The Nameless City book 2, panels from pages 151-207. Aaaaah, so close to the end!

Finished my @heroinitiative #TMNT cover! I’ll do a little secret sketch on the back for whoever gets the cover ;)
Now presenting, in its full, complete, and downloadable glory, the Racism and Middle Earth series! This six part guide to Tolkien and Racism collects relevant tidbits from Tolkien’s own writings (from the most familiar to the most obscure) in order to highlight what the most problematic and the most potential-ridden parts of Middle Earth are, and outlines how we, as fans, can make Middle Earth a better place for characters of all ethnicities.
Each chapter is summarized in the photos above. The series can be downloaded as a .pdf, .ibook, or text-only .pdf (warning: the text version is not pretty, and is missing some important maps, so use only as a last resort.) I’ve also got a list of articles, essays, and blog posts on the subject of Middle Earth and racism here, for anyone wanting to learn more, or just looking for a different perspective/take on the issue.
(For those who read the original blog posts, there have been a few changes to this final version - mainly additions made to Part I.)

Omg go the fuck outside Who gives a shit that book series written in the 50s, a time when institutionalized racism was a real thing and mainstream, was racist? That’s kind of to be expected of writers of the time. He’s sexist too, in the books the women play an even smaller part then the in the movie.
Have you walnuts ever read lovecraft?? He’s racist as hell! Does anyone give two shits? No! Becuase he did his writing in the 20s! That was mainstream back then!
Am I saying racism is okay? Fuck no! Don’t be racist! But these authors that wrote these books lived in very veeery differnt world than you slacktivists do today, and wrote to those times. So in short
WHO GIVES A FUCK
Aha! Perhaps this lends a bit of light to that anonymous hatemail just now. Honestly, give the essays a read; Ask Middle-earth loves Tolkien, and so do I. I think the essays are probably a bit more positive than you would expect. As for Lovecraft, his racism went beyond the call of duty even for the 1920s, into full-blown paranoid conspiracy-theory obsession. It was not an ambient, “product of his time” racism, but an insidious and ugly obsession. I am a big fan of the Cthulhu Mythos – but I kind of think Lovecraft was loathesome as a person.
That said, it’s possible to enjoy – and even love – something while still being aware of its faults, or the shortcomings of its creator(s). And sometimes it’s worth discussing those faults in a thoughtful way, as Ask Middle-earth has done. Have a lovely day, though!

I took my little brother (who falls on the autism spectrum) to see Guardians of the Galaxy and after this scene he lit up like a Christmas tree and screamed “He’s like me! He can’t do metaphors!” And for the rest of the film my brother stared at Drax in a state of rapture.
So for the last 6 days I have heard my brother repeatedly quote all of the Drax lines from the movie verbatim (one of his talents), begin studying vocabulary test words, and tell everyone he knows that people with autism can also be superheroes.
Now I am not saying that Drax the Destroyer is, or was ever, intended to be autistic. All I am saying is that it warmed my heart to see my brother have an opportunity to identify himself with a character known for his strength, badassness, and honor. And that is pretty damn awesome.
So while I adored Guardians of the Galaxy as a great fun loving film with cool characters I can do nothing but thank Marvel Studios and Dave Bautista for finally bringing a superhero to the screen that my little brother can relate to.
